Swine Flu..

Pig Sick..all over the papers these days. Swine flu coming from Mexico, pictures on the news of people there wearing masks and 150 and counting people died from it there. No-one died here yet but a honeymoon couple from Scotland with it confirmed but doing well. the usual panic everywhere and the Foreign Office warning against going to Mexico unless absolutely necessary.
Here in the Woodford house things carry on as normal. we did venture out to Dobbies this morning mainly for our free coffees and VT wanted to get some fence paint to go with his spraying machine. Went to Waitrose on the way to get some more vegetables and a few things we had run out of. We like their flour for breadmaking, it seems to give a good loaf and better than others. Surprised they don't sell bread mixes though.Nice shop to shop in but very expensive , I still miss the Morrisons there.
Gone quite cold this afternoon and cloudy. VT says it is too cold to do the spraying today, but I think you need a day at it to do it properly. We were looking at bedding plants for hanging baskets in Dobbies but again it is a bit too early for those.
Tonight we are having:
Mushroom bakes with a melting cheese centre,M&S
Butternut squash and mushrooms
Not sure about potatoes might not need those. Could do a couple of potato croquettes.i will make up my mind when I get down there.
